The place to build resiliency and nurture a child’s leadership
If you’re the parent, grandparent, or other family member of a child who is struggling to establish identity, or threatened by bullying, please know that the child you love can be protected. You can help that child gain the skills and confidence to get out from under the bully’s thumb.
Children with a strong sense of worth, know that they can achieve what they set out to accomplish—and understand that the journey is gradual. They are always moving forward and know they don’t have to do it all at once. These children are nearly immune to bullying. Bullies, facing a resilient child, turn their attention elsewhere.
To start this powerful process, we recommend sitting down and reading U.N.I.Q.U.E. KIDS: Growing My Leadership Garden together with the child or listening along with the audio book and completing the accompanying activities in the My Leadership Garden Journal for kids.
This gentle fable is designed by an educator who has led statewide initiatives, specifically to build self-worth and self-esteem. As the child in your life follows the lost and unconfident sheep Hugh around the Leadership Farm, that child, too will absorb the lessons the other animals impart.
Our approach is anchored in the acronym: U.N.I.Q.U.E.
Understanding: balancing and blending your four leader behaviors
Nurturing: using leader-friendly gardening practices
Inventive: invent a unique purpose and aim
Quality: use the leadership attributes necessary to thrive
Unstoppable: move through the circle of commitment and remove any barriers to your purpose and aim
Expression: practice the art of communication with a unique purpose and aim
So roll up your sleeves, grab your pen, and get to work seeding and weeding your family Leadership Garden with your own discounted Family Empowerment Tool Kit.
The Leadership Garden Guidebook walks you and your child, 13 and older through the process. For children 5-12 you can use the downloadable U.N.I.Q.U.E. KIDS Activity Guide and My Leadership Garden Journal with the award winning book U.N.I.Q.U.E. KIDS: Growing My Leadership Garden.
Together, you’ll cultivate organic experiences, actions, and results that are sure to empower you and your family.
